Weddingbee boards

We just finished (except for the strings for the fake rings on the pillow) our ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket. What do you think? It's all made from scratch except of course the silver wicker basket underneath the satin. My fiance is pretty creative alongside me :).

The pink is also more like a fushia pink.

Thanks so much! SO much cheaper than buying them already made.....cost about $20 to make BOTH!

@tinaspoon: Awww thanks! If you have any questions about it, you can PM me :).

@MrsSl82be: Thanks! It's kind of what we are going for for our whole wedding. Mostly ivory and black with little pops of color. Our ceremony decor will be 90% ivory/diamond white and the 10% color will be the BM dresses, ring bearer pillow, FG basket, bouquets, and other very small minor details. Mostly ivory/diamond white though :). I'm glad to see that we made this happen in these :oD. Thanks lots!!!

@FutureMrsW2012:Thanks!

Those are super cute! Did you put the material on the basket or did it come like that? If you added it, could you explain how you did it? :-)

Those are so cute! You did an awesome job.

Thanks! I bought the basket from Garden Ridge in the Christmas section and then bought the poly satin from Hobby Lobby. As as far as the folds go, it took alot of glue, pulling, tuggng, and a steady hand haha. I pleated two of the folds to begin going around the basket and glued those down then as I went around the basket I just folded/pleated as I went and glued as I went. Also what you could do is cut out long rectangles of the satin, fold in half so they are a little thick, and then layer them over each other onto the basket as you go around covering the edges of each thin rectangle. You want to make sure your material is long enough to go from the outside bottom to the inside bottom over the sides. That actually might have been easier for the whole thing, but I only had to do that to a couple pleats by the handle. The handle I just fold a piece of satin in half, hot glued the edges together then wrapped it around the wicker handle. It's pretty easy to do. If you have any questions feel free to PM me :). The pop of color is what we were going for! 

Thanks :)

@MademoiselleL: I am thinking of attaching the rings with really thin ivory ribbon pieces that will be hot glued or will be sewn onto the pillow underneath the flower petals.

@Olive12: :o) It's a lot of fun! Good luck!!!!

@csdncer2013: Thanks! It's just good ol satin from Hobby Lobby :).

@harold2b1: We made the pillow ourself :)

@IreneG: We bought black and white poly satin from Hobby Lobby, then cut to equal size squares about 12inx12in of your main color. Then cut a long WIDE rectangle (a few inches longer than your 12x12 piece) out of your other color and then hot glue this color material's ends together (making almost like a tubeish/strip shape). Then you put the two pieces together, shiny sides facing each other (dull side facing you),  place your 2nd color strip in between the 2 pieces of 12x12 fabric (seam side facing up) and pin the ends of the strip to both sides of the 12x12, then sew the edges of the 12x12 together (including the strip) all the way around until you get to the last edge. On the last edge, sew until you have about a 2 inch opening at the end of that edge. Then turn the material inside out by pushing the material through the hole very carefully and straigten it out. Then stuff the material as full as you would like it. When you are satisfied you can either hot glue the inside of the ends and press them together on the opening or you can google how to sew the end of a pillow hole. We just hot glued and it worked just fine :). Then you can pinch the 2nd color fabric in the middle of it to get the rouching effect. We used a zip tie to hold it pinched because we were placing a flower on top anyway. You can also hot glue the pinched material to the pillow or tie a piece of thread around the center to hold it pinched. Now....decorate as you please :).

I know that's a lot of info. It was hard for me to explain it in writing lol. If you have any questions feel free to contact me :). It's very easy to make. 

Thank u thank u!!! :oD
